FORMER Manchester United striker Louis Saha believes new boy Casemiro may have to face a spell on the sidelines while Scott McTominay continues to impress in midfield.
Casemiro, 30, joined the Red Devils in a huge £70million transfer from Real Madrid last month.
But he has been limited to just three appearances off the bench following his arrival.
And according to Saha, he may have to settle for a stint as a substitute with Christian Eriksen and McTominay both in fine form.
When speaking to Compare.bet, he said: "It's important to know as a player at Manchester United that no matter who you are you have to work hard to play, and Scott is playing really well.
"He has youth on his side and he's done well. I do think that Casemiro's experience will help him and the squad. I'm sure about that.
"It's a very long season and there will be injuries and resting, players will dip in and out of form, so everyone in the squad has to be ready.
"And this squad for Manchester United is amazing."
Casemiro moved out of the Lowry hotel on Wednesday before setting off to his new home in Manchester.
He had been living there with his wife Anna Mariana since joining Man Utd during the summer transfer window.
The midfielder came to England following United's back-to-back defeats to Brighton and Brentford last month.
He could make his first start for the club tonight when the Red Devils host Real Sociedad in the Europa League.
Man Utd have won each of their last three Premier League games following Casemiro's arrival.
New boss Erik ten Hag also acquired the services of Eriksen, Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, Martin Dubravka and £85.5m man Antony this summer to aid his Old Trafford rebuild.

form is temporary but class is permanent. nd casemiro is a high class player but scott isn't. ten hag can keep on starting scott but he shouldn't be surprised when scott decides to switch off on the pitch one day and it costs us a win

McTominay is on fine form at moment. There's no way you can bench a player who is playing good football and there's no way Ten Hag will play two defensive midfielders. Casemiro will have enough time to settle and enjoy his football in Manchester.

Madrid sold cristiano for 100m to juve and Casimero 70m to utd , Perez is a genius and a bad guy. The both now don't play epl but plays Europa!

How lol 😅 things are not done that way nau mc is still doing well
Bro what are you talking about mc is still doing well?, they already lost 4 points👀, MU should've won those 2 games. Losing to Brighton and being humilliated by Brentford🙃 come on bro it had to do with Fred playing as a CM/DM which he isn't or he needs to have a DM beside him and as soon as McTominay played in that position and with Erikson everything changed☝️#go watch and see for yourself the lineup/formation of Eric Ten Hag against Brighton and Brentford. MU losing and being humilliated had everything to do with Ten Hag because after that you see them winning of Liverpool and Arsenal but couldn't win of Brighton and Brentford🙃🤦♂️😂🤣.

70mil for casmiro is ridiculous besides 40mil would've have been okay but his class make it quite okay and Since his arrival Scott has been inform because he knows if he looses form it's game over...we need to let ronaldo go and sign gakpo maybe use Elanga +20mil for swap and then sell Williams allow Jones leave freely with Axel and maguire bring back bailly and it will be Outstanding Manchester United team....Top4 a most💯

The truth is, one of the factors that made cristiano leave Madrid was the fact that as at time cristiano was very close to sitting on Madrid bench, his goals tally has really dropped and the last Ucl won by Madrid before cristiano left, he didn't score in quarters, semi and final because he was dip in form. At that time, Madrid didn't see cris at untouchable or the messiah anymore and it was very easy to let him leave Madrid to the surprise of many who never saw it coming. Cristiano started seeing bench roles at juve in his 2nd season which angered him and then seek juve exit. And now at utd he is now members of utd bench. As for Casmero, he lost his position to a younger Valverde and Casmiro preferred playing Europa at utd than sitting on Madrid bench in Ucl matches. So both Cris and cas left madrid to avoid Madrid bench.

Yes and if Eric ten Hag have started him since the 1st game and in his natural position instead of pretending with Fred as the DM/CM they would've been 1st#FACTS.

we can't say casimiro is worse than mctominey when he has not been given a chance to start ahead of mc, United has been playing well in the first half but fail to do the same in second half,I have seen each time he comes in we start having more of the ball this man makes right choices and judgement on where to pass and where to stand on and off the ball
